Definitions

  • UPP Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway
  • E3 ubiquitin ligases comprise over 500 different proteins and are categorized into multiple classes defined by the structural element of their E3 functional activity. For example, cereblon (CRBN) interacts with damaged DNA binding protein 1 and forms an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex with Cullin 4 in which the proteins recognized by CRBN are ubiquitinated and degraded by proteasomes.
  • immunomodulatory drugs e.g., thalidomide and lenalidomide
  • CRBN CRBN
  • thalidomide and lenalidomide binds to CRBN and modulates CRBN’s role in the ubiquitination and degradation of protein factors involved in maintaining regular cellular function.
  • Bifunctional compounds composed of a target protein-binding moiety and an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety have been shown to induce proteasome-mediated degradation of selected proteins. These drug-like molecules offer the possibility of temporal control over protein expression, and could be useful as biochemical reagents for the treatment of diseases.

While treatment of wild type MM.1S cells resulted in marked dose- dependent BRD9 loss, treatment of the MM.1S CRBNknockout cell line resulted in little to no BRD9 degradation, providing support for CRBN-dependent proteasomal degradation of BRD9 by I-17.

  • R 14 at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R 14 .
  • combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible, but only if such combinations result in stable compounds within a designated atom’s normal valency.
  • some of the compounds of this application have one or more double bonds, or one or more asymmetric centers.
  • Such compounds can occur as racemates, racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, individual dia omers, diastereomeric mixtures, and cis- or trans- or E- or Z- double isomeric forms, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-, or as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids.
  • the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des composés bifonctionnels de formule (I) : ou un énantiomère, un diastéréomère, ou un stéréo-isomère de ceux-ci un ligand de ciblage (Ib) ou un sel, un hydrate, un solvat, un promédicament pharmaceutiquement acceptable de ceux-ci, qui agissent comme des fragments induisant la dégradation protéique pour la protéine contenant un bromodomaine 9 (BRD9). La présente invention concerne également des procédés de dégradation ciblée de BRD9 en utilisant des composés bifonctionnels qui lient un fragment se liant à l'ubiquitine ligase à un ligand capable de se lier à BRD9 qui peuvent être utilisés dans le traitement des troubles modulés par BRD9.
